CISPA I just read up on over on the CO sandbox post you did. It will fail because once again they left it too open-ended trying to get all regulation for the internet in to it. The legislators and Morton need to sit down and first get an understanding of what they're trying to regulate. They just don't get it. Use something like CISPA for crazies like this that think they won't get caught hacking into police websites. Take it bigger for all foreign threats and national security threats. But the rest of serious I-crime needs to just get the laws we have stronger and then train cops to enforce them. Start slapping charges, fines and consequences onto any provider or site that doesn't have a human being watching over it. It is that simple.
